Subtle smoke and peat on the nose. Very refined. Reminds me of being next to a fire in a small pub on a cold night on Islay. Sherry, oak, a whisp of smoke on the palate. A little spicey, and not too hot. Finish is long and pleasant with smoke in the background. This is a real class act. Debatably one of the best Islay whiskys I’ve had.
